Rand Paul Speaks at Town Hall Meeting

By Scott Wartman, The Kentucky Enquirer

Sen. Rand Paul speaks at a Town Hall meeting in at the Calvin Perry Community Center in Alexandria. About 200 people attended the event.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul looked out at the 200 people assembled in a gymnasium in Alexandria and said the tea party might play just as big of a role this election as it did two years ago. Paul, R-Bowling Green, on Friday spoke to tea party supporters in Alexandria and business leaders in Covington. While in town, he downplayed recent talk of him being a vice presidential candidate on Mitt Romney’s ticket. No one has asked him, Paul said, but he’s flattered people would consider him. Paul, however, has not given up hope his father, Ron Paul, will pick up enough delegates.
